American Silver Eagle Coins Anyone Here Buying? ツ

Just wondering as I have one full tube and I'm thinking of filling the other one but prices are crazy high and a little bit out of my budget! I bought two around around 10 days ago, $91 each and the last one I bought was more than that! Just making a poll to find out what others here are doing, it's been awhile since I made a poll, maybe you can tell!

I sold every Silver Eagle I had in 2022. Raw, in OGP, and graded all were sold. Even the V75 went at a coin show. Every last one of them had a milk spot(s) somewhere. Even the 70s.

 

No. My wife won't let me.

 

I'm in the market for just one. The 2026 that I need for my set. I've got five rolls that I've been hoarding for 20 years. Swore that I would sell them when silver got to this point but can't seem to let them go. Guess I like the idea of holding them more than the idea of having the cash. One good thing about not being married is nobody cares how I spend my money.

 

Not sure if I should answer No since I’ve never bought them and never plan to.

 

Still buy, but just the same $$ amount which isn't much ....

 

Same here. I have my silver stash and the plan was only to sell them in case of an emergency but Im now fighting the urge to sell.

 

Last time I purchased ASE was December with a preorder for 2026. At the time the price was $70. Fast forward and the price increased with fear of not receiving the coins increasing for one reason or another. But yesterday the dealer sent shipping notification with tracking. Super relief here.

 

Last time I bought Eagles silver was around $20 and I was afraid I made a big mistake...when silver was high in the Hunt Bros. days,it hit highs for only a short time until crashing back down to just a couple dollars an ounce. What will happen now? Oh llama please reply.

 

Yeah, this feels quite structurally different from the Hunt Brothers episode. Is it like 2011? Only hindsight will tell...

 

Yep happy wife, happy life I'm just glad I have my own money above and beyond what I give to her! Silver is over $101 right now so my plan is to fill this other tube but I gotta stay off the bay, it's convenient but that's it! I'm gonna hit up my LCS, I'll get a better price but that's if he has any, times are competitive right now in more ways than one!

 

I crowed to my wife that the silver dime I found in the CoinStar a month or two ago was worth $3.50 in silver.

$7.32 now.

I hope the pawn shop is keeping up with oil changes on their price-sticker printer...

 

Yes, only because I needed 2 more to complete my set of type 1 certified set. Luckily those cost me $83 and $95. This was 3 weeks ago. Glad I mostly obtained the others well before this latest silver run, mostly around $60 or less. Regards, Mike.

 

When I bought my high school ring in 1983 I think gold was at $500. A couple years earlier it was higher. But then it had a downwards trend for several years/decades.
If I recall correctly I paid $800 for my 18k high school ring back in the day.
I had to wait a long time before that was breakeven.

 

Wow, you must have gone to a high-falutin high school. I've never even seen a 14k let alone 18k HS ring. Every one I've ever seen has been 10k. I know Jostens and Herff Jones will make 14k and 18k rings, but not for this po'boy.

 

I came across my HS and college rings in a box a while back, and weighed them. They're only 10k, and some of that weight is the "stones" (likely glass), but I'm guessing they still represent a chunk of change at today's prices. I'm not especially emotionally attached to them, but they'd probably be among the last PM stuff I'd sell. Not exactly sure where that irrationality comes from, but there it is.

 

Nope, no high-falutin high school. I had a paper route though. I either bought stocks or small PMs with that paper route money.

One is Artcarved [college], I'm pretty sure the other is Jostens.[ edit: my high school ring is TerryBerry 14k]

I'm allergic to silver so I try to not have silver in the alloy mix.
A friend of mine started making jewerly/rings from coins so I gave him a Walking Liberty half. When I put it on I remember I was allergic as my finger swelled. Luckily I was at the sink and poured dish soap on it and was able to get my finger out before it was too late.
